What went wrong is something that goes wrong for most new drivers, though hopefully not under the watch of a driving test examiner. The 17-year-old Buffalo resident put the car into drive, instead of reverse. Rather than backing out of the parking space, the teen plowed straight into the building that housed the exam station office.

Police said the crash caused "significant damage to the vehicle and building."

The driver and those within the building were uninjured. A photo from the scene suggests part of the building was vacant and for lease. The 60-year-old test examiner was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

No charges are pending for the teen, though it is safe to assume she did not get her license that day.
